Ka-Band Electrical Attenuator

SKA-2734032530-2828-AP is a Ka Band, PIN diode based electrical attenuator. The attenuator exhibits 2.5 dB typical insertion loss and 30 dB nominal attenuation across the frequency range of 26.5 to 40 GHz. The control voltage of the standard model is 0 to -5 VDC with a typical current draw of 10 mA. However, the attenuator can also be configured with a negative control voltage from 0 to +5 VDC. The control speed of the attenuator can go up to 100 ns. The RF input and output ports are WR-28 waveguides with UG-599/U flanges, and a female SMA coaxial connector provides the control signal.
